SBCS Convention will be in Jackson, Mississippi with our host Steven Chevalier.

A whole new decade of finding and collecting souvenir buildings has arrived. 

As we hang those new calendars, two things: our annual convention dates are October 23-25 in Jackson Mississippi and 2020 membership fees are due. There is a handy membership tab on this website. 

As President of the SBCS I would adore seeing your newest acquisition. Thanks to this community my most recent find has been identified: Moscow’s Ivan the Great Bell Tower. Although mine is diminutive in size-just two inches I’ve learned the real complex is the tallest building in the Kremlin and was built in 1508.  

That’s one of the things I like about SBCS and collecting. I learn so much about history and architecture in the process. 

  

Send me photos of your most recent acquisition and what makes it special to you. I will post them. My email is lechipster@aol.com

Also looking for a eager contributor(s) to this website. 

Happy Collecting!

 

Bob’s Better Buildings Event

The Committee has been hard at work preparing a special selection from the fabulous and extensive estate of Bob Kneisel. Aptly named the “Bob’s Better Building” this opportunity will disperse known makers such as Banthrico, InFocus, recast Rehberger as well as other makers within the boxes. It is offering as many buildings as will fit in a USPS shipping box ( we think the average will be four items). 

These gems have all been pre packed and will be randomly selected to ensure fairness.  Each member is allowed only one box to further spreading the collection equitably.

The  parcels will be dispatched in late October. 

The price is $60 by check; $65 by Paypal. 

Open to all members current in their 2019 dues. Just fill out the form in our recent newsletter.

If you aren’t current and want to participate, no worries,  a mere $35 will get you a membership. 

Payments must be in by October 22nd. 

Looking forward to receiving mine!
